A de-standardization of the education system is being accelerated in domestic colleges and universities such as the three-year bachelor s degree, five years of Bachelor-Master as linked courses. Also liberal education curriculum is improved because undergraduate colleges, liberal arts have been introduced and need to strengthen of liberal education at the University. However, many universities try to liberal education curriculum attempt to improve and to develop quickly, so they trend to emphasize operational aspects and to neglect the essence of liberal education itself.
In this study, I explored the nature of liberal education with knowledge-based society, analyzed the liberal education goals and objectives of domestic universities and the status of those liberal education courses. I reflected the explored the nature of liberal education to liberal education curriculum and suggested the step to build rational and systematic curriculum.
In other words, first, it should state goals and objectives of liberal education curriculum explicitly. Second, it should organize to achieve those objectives related to course. and non-course program. Third, it should configure contents should be learn that focused on learner-centered activities. During curriculum to build, it should explicitly state objectives for course and non-course program based on Bloom’s objectives, those objectives should match competences across such as higher order cognitive thinking skills, learner-centered learning experiences that represent the affective attitudes and values, and psychomotor skills. In addition, I proposed to run a variety of performance assessment such that discussion, observation, demonstration etc. that is reasonable assessment because of connection with its objective.
It is considered that such liberal education curriculum can attain significant learning outcomes are faithful to the nature of liberal education. |
